When to help? When to worry?

Just checked the hydrometer again-its about 75. 

Keep lowering it, get it down to about 50%. We don't know how long it's been like that so my guess is it's been a while. We need to get rid of some of that moisture. Oh good lord...

Still no hole in the papery outer membrane, just about a little less than a cm diameter section of shell broken away. This has not changed since yesterday afternoon. No tapping now, but the egg wiggles and I can hear him chirp when I talk to him.

I want you to take them out one at at time, you need to make safe holes, let's get that moisture out of there, get that temp up and make a safe hole, the hole should be a tiny hole no bigger then the tip of a pen.

Understand they have two membranes one is covering them and one that is close to the shell. You need to make sure the hole goes threw the shell and pass the membrane but NOT HIS. Stay away from his, do this to both, you have 30 minutes per egg to make this hole and that's it. Lol let me know when you begin I will keep track of your time. If you can't make the safe hole in 30 minutes put them back, reason for the 30 minutes is because they will get cold and if they are that wet yeks they will get cold very quickly.

30 minutes is plenty of time to get the safe hole done, please take your time do not rush and again, just a small hole, send me a pic of the hole once your done I'll tell you if it's to big or to small. If sending a pic is easier by text let me know...

Use a needle or some tweezers

Did I misunderstand you did you say they already have a crack in there shell? No safe hole then!!!

 

[Lacrystol]

[Lacrystol]

Well the one that was blowing bubbles was vomiting. He'd squawk and work up some green fluid with chunks in it. I don't think he could really clear his lungs though and ended up aspirating some. Idk...

 

[krissyg2991]

Yes he has a crack in his shell. Just not the membrane directly under it. There is about a 1/2cm-3/4 cm hole where he externally pipped, but no hole in the outer membrane.

I aired out the incubator some

And removed some of the wet paper towels.
